You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

Under the overwhelming praise of everyone, Wang Tai willingly paid for the meal.

He regretted it when he paid, but when Xu Lingjing passed by him, she gave him a seemingly admiring smile. Suddenly, like a spring breeze, thousands of pear trees bloomed, and he no longer felt the pain.

As the saying goes, a beauty's smile is priceless, and he only spent 730 to win her smile. It was worth it!

It rained, but it came and went quickly. By the time the dinner ended, it was already evening.

Everyone should head back now. Today's experience was great. Most people had food and drinks without spending any money, witnessed a wonderful social gathering, and made new friends. We are very satisfied.

Although Gu Xingzhou and Lin Yan haven't officially started dating, their ambiguous relationship is even stronger than expected, and good news is likely to come soon.

Goodbye Lu Yuan, goodbye Yi Xian!

The female students from the University of Finance and Economics left one after another, and before leaving, they all said goodbye to the two of them very warmly.

They didn't urge Ye Yixian to leave with them, seemingly acknowledging that Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian still wanted to enjoy their time together.

"Let me take you back to school first," Lu Yuan said to Ye Yixian.

Ye Yixian looked at the sky, a little hesitant. "It might rain later. How about we take a walk and then go home separately? What if you get soaked if it rains heavily and we linger too long?"

"Then I'll take you to the bus stop."

It takes about ten minutes to walk to the bus stop. If you walk slowly, it's a good time to spend together, and the two of you can part ways there.

So, the young couple walked hand in hand slowly in the evening after the rain.

The pedestrians were all in a hurry, but there were also couples who were just as leisurely as they were.

They are just two ordinary people here, a part of the scenery in this city, nothing more.

"Lu Yuan, you did a great job today. Luckily you were here, otherwise Lin Yan and the others would have been in trouble." Ye Yixian thought about it and was still a little worried.

Without Lu Yuan, they probably wouldn't have been able to handle this unexpected situation.

"It's just a matter of treating people differently based on their status," Lu Yuan said calmly. "The most important thing is not to panic when something happens. As long as they're not crazy people who're ready to fight, things are pretty easy to handle."

"But everyone is different. How do we deal with different people and different situations?"

Ye Yixian felt that he needed to learn about it.

Today she witnessed Lu Yuan's outstanding ability to handle affairs and also saw Xu Lingjing's perfectly timed reaction speed.

If we disregard the fact that she's his love rival, Ye Yixian definitely admires Xu Lingjing; she's truly capable of playing a crucial role at critical moments.

Ye Yixian wished she could step in and give Lu Yuan a helping hand at the right time, but unfortunately, she wasn't that quick-witted.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly again and said, "The key to dealing with different people is to win their hearts."

"Winning hearts and minds?" Ye Yixian tilted her head, puzzled.

Lu Yuan explained, "The so-called 'winning hearts and minds' means analyzing the psychology of the person involved, combining it with the current situation, and attacking their weaknesses. The will of the people is nothing more than enticing them with benefits, persuading them with reason, moving them with emotions, or defeating them with force; knowing how to be tactful, speaking well, and knowing when to advance and retreat are the only ways to remain calm in the face of adversity and resolve problems perfectly."

"Well……"

Ye Yixian stared blankly at Lu Yuan, hesitant to speak.

Clearly, they didn't understand.

Lu Yuan scratched his forehead, a little embarrassed. "Your Chinese is pretty good. You can't even understand these words?"

"My Chinese is good, but what you're saying is too literary, and it's hard for me to understand at first glance."

"Alright." Lu Yuan nodded and patiently explained, "Simply put, you need to observe what kind of person the other party is. If they are greedy, lure them with benefits; if they are highly educated and reasonable, persuade them with reason; if they are emotional, play the emotional card; if they don't want benefits, don't reason, and can't be emotional, then you can only beat them up."

"Of course, there's another thing to keep in mind: moderation. For example, when dealing with a greedy person, you can try to bribe them with benefits, but you can't just give them all at once. Otherwise, they'll think you're easy to talk to and will give them whatever they want, which will fuel their greed and make them uncontrollable. Everything should be done in moderation. Some benefits can be given, some cannot, and for those that are optional, make them pay a price before giving them anything."

"In short, getting along with people requires some psychological manipulation. You can't think too highly of people and be completely unguarded, or you'll lack judgment; nor can you think too badly of people and be suspicious, or you'll fall into a vicious cycle of doubt."

At this point, Lu Yuan stopped walking, and Ye Yixian, puzzled, also stopped.

Lu Yuan placed his hands on Ye Yixian's shoulders and said earnestly, "I'm telling you this not so that you'll engage in scheming and backstabbing in the future, but so that you'll have the confidence to face difficulties. I can't always be by your side; some things you'll ultimately have to face on your own."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yixian looked worried. "Lu Yuan, what do you mean? Are you going to leave me?"

"No." Lu Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Of course I'll be with you forever, but that doesn't mean you can't handle some troublesome things on your own."

"Phew!" Ye Yixian breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I'll definitely become smarter and smarter with you. I've always managed to get through things on my own before, and with you by my side, things will only get better."

Ye Yixian was indeed very cheerful. The two arrived at the bus stop, waited for a while, and then their respective buses arrived. They parted ways with reluctance.

Before parting, Lu Yuan kissed Ye Yixian, regardless of how crowded it was; that's how young couples should act.

Ye Yixian was very happy, and this farewell no longer seemed sad.

Before the bus started moving, Lu Yuan watched Ye Yixian get on the bus through the window until the bus started moving and he could no longer see him.

After parting ways, the feeling of missing Ye Yixian resurfaced, and she felt a bit depressed.

Then a familiar voice came from in front of him: "If you're so reluctant to part with her, why don't you go to a hotel with her tonight?"

Looking down, I saw Xu Lingjing.

She was sitting right in front of him by the window, which startled Lu Yuan.

"Hehe, what a coincidence...you're on this bus too."

"Hmm, quite a coincidence." Xu Lingjing nodded. "You haven't answered my question yet."

Lu Yuan pursed his lips. "We haven't reached that point yet."

"You've been together for so long, and you haven't reached that point yet?" Xu Lingjing didn't know whether she was genuinely surprised or just pretending.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. "My relationship with Yixian is a slow and steady one, okay?"

"..."

Xu Lingjing remained silent, looking at Lu Yuan with a mixture of belief and doubt.

But in the end, she lowered her head somewhat dejectedly and murmured, "So you used to think about a long-term relationship with me?"
